(KJV) 1 Corinthians 3¹

⥃God’s Fellow Workers ^{[ Hebrews 5:11–14 ]}

[1] And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual², but as unto carnal³, [even] as unto babes⁴ in Christ. [2] I have fed⁵ you with milk, and not with meat: for⁶ hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able. [3] For ye are yet carnal: for whereas⁷ [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions⁸, are ye not carnal, and walk⁹ as men¹⁰? [4] For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?¹¹ [5] Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers¹² by whom ye believed, even¹³ as the Lord gave to every man? [6] I¹⁴ have planted, Apollos¹⁵ watered; but God¹⁶ gave the increase. [7] So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.¹⁷ [8] Now he that planteth¹⁸ and he that watereth are one: and every¹⁹ man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. [9] For we²⁰ are labourers together with God: ye are God’s²¹ husbandry²², [ye are] God’s building²³.

⥃Christ Our Foundation ^{[ Isaiah 28:14–22 † Ephesians 2:19–22 † 1 Peter 2:1–8 ]}

[10] According to the²⁴ grace of God which is given unto me, as a²⁵ wise masterbuilder, I have²⁶ laid the foundation, and another²⁷ buildeth thereon. But let every²⁸ man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.²⁹ [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold³⁰, silver, precious³¹ stones, wood³², hay, stubble; [13] Every man’s³³ work shall be made manifest: for the day³⁴ shall declare it, because it shall be revealed³⁵ by fire; and the fire³⁶ shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. [14] If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.³⁷ [15] If any man’s work³⁸ shall be burned, he shall³⁹ suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet⁴⁰ so as by fire.

⥃God’s Temple and God’s Wisdom ^{[ Romans 12:1–8 † 1 Corinthians 6:18–20 ]}

[16] Know⁴¹ ye not that ye are⁴² the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit⁴³ of God dwelleth in you? [17] If any⁴⁴ man defile⁴⁵ the temple of God, him shall God destroy⁴⁶; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are. [18] Let no man deceive⁴⁷ himself. If⁴⁸ any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let⁴⁹ him become a fool, that he may be wise. [19] For the wisdom⁵⁰ of this world is foolishness with God. For⁵¹ it is written, He⁵² taketh the wise in their own craftiness. [20] And again, The Lord⁵³ knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that⁵⁴ they are vain. [21] Therefore let no man glory⁵⁵ in men. For⁵⁶ all things are yours; [22] Whether Paul⁵⁷, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the⁵⁸ world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; [23] And ye⁵⁹ are Christ’s; and Christ⁶⁰ [is] God’s.
